Doctor Who: The Visual Dictionary by Jason Loborik
3.0
I seriously wish I could have rated this book higher. If I based my rating solely on my experience, the rating would be a 5. Anything Dr. Who related is a 5 in my book. :)
However, the actual writing and structure of the book leaves much to be desired. Though the book is a "visual dictionary", it is not organized alphabetically. If one is just reading through the book (as I was this time) the non-alphabetical arrangement is not as important. However, if one wanted to use this book as a reference, the lack of alphabetization would be a severe detriment.
Additionally, many of the facts pointed out about each particular event or character would elicit a "no duh" reaction from ardent Dr. Who fans.
I will be looking at the book again, of course. It has tons of awesome pictures from Dr. Who and one can never get enough of that. :)
